it was tested with something like a foucault tester. But it was not "star tested", optically speaking, by mounting it on a structure, point it to the sky, etc
it'S true, myself I have never understood how they send it into space without tested it on earth?!?
There's 100% amateur that polish themselves their 30" mirror in their garage and there are of better quality, and they can do some star test with their dob to correct thing.
How the HST mirro got into space without test is really beyond me either...
well, with the new portable USB 240Mb drive (compatible with LS-120) that use special floppy of 240Mb, you can format your old 1.44Mb floppy to 32Mb, not too bad to put some MP3 for example, see www.qps-inc.com.
It seems the Elcomsoft page has been/., if it's in Russia it does not help...

has done that for almost 20 years, produce energy significantly in excess of what they're putting in! But they had a lot of problems... Only 4 reactors/generators like this could give enough power to the whole country!
<rip>
A breeder, or fast, reactor is designed to produce both power and new fuel at the same time. Breeder reactors do away with the moderator so that the neutrons retain higher velocity and kinetic energy. When these neutrons are captured by U-238, which is nonfissionable, they can convert it into a transuranic element, known as plutonium-239 (Pu-239), which is fissionable. This new fuel can be separated out after generation in a reactor for use as fuel in other reactors. Since U-238 is much more plentiful than naturally occurring U-235, the development of breeder reactors may bring a long-lasting nuclear fuel supply.
The small EBR-1 breeder reactor first produced electric power in the United States in 1952. Other breeder reactors have since been developed in the United States, France, Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom, Japan, Russia, and India. The world's only operating commercial plant is the Super-Phoenix, a fast-breeder reactor in France.

Consumers. This "registration" bulls**t is going to piss off a lot of ordinary people. It's not like they don't have alternatives, too. *Cough*Apple!*Cough* *Cough*
Well, you know that days before XP will be on the shelf, you will be able to find some "applications" that will remove this registration BS... astalavista baby;-) --
I'm writing code mostly in QNX, and I do multi-thread, I had big problem with some parts of their TCP/IP stack not being thread-safe:-(
But when you do good multi-threading, I can assure you performance increase.
Now with QNX RTP using SMP I guess it'll be better, maybe not like BeOS, wait and see... --
I learned Eiffel as my first OO language, and it rocks, ok it's slow a little even to compile when you are 50 compiling a program on the same server at the university:)
After that I learned C++ and WTF is this language? it's not a OO language, it's just a language with classes added. I remember the first C++ compiler was just C++ to C translation, and a normal C compiler was launched to compile the code.
Now I do pure C and I love it:) --
in french and english, explain everything on webcam for astronomy, how to setup various model, special driver to allow long exposures, "blackening" the CCD and remove this "black" image from the image you've taken, etc, very very good site here at astrocam http://www.astrocam.org/ (don't know why but i cannot put the link with a A tag)
Another site with special webcam for astronomy is SAC --
I have recently bought a telescope, a skywatcher newton 130mm F5 on a EQ3 mount and accessories, for the price I paid (392$CAN) I can assure you it is a fantastic piece of equipment! You can see some pictures on my website and links where I bought it. --

If you put your mouse on the BeOS link you'll see it points to www.palm.com :o)
funny in the article about OpenGL 1.3 we can read this:
All of the major platforms as well as more specialized ones including AIX, BeOS, HP-UX, IRIX and OS/2 support the standard.
I think Sony will buy Palm, it's possible, and better.
When I submitted the news this morning, Be stock was at 46, now it is at 19, well...
The 3.5" diskette is dying.

hum, you forgot the law Zero
0. A robot may not injure humanity or, through inaction, allow humanity to come to harm.
also did you see what happen at R Daneel Olivaw? he becomes like a megalo, and in fact rulez the whole galaxy and humankind, himself.

well, a SBIG or a Apogee CCD camera can cost more than 1-2k$, the SBIG ST8 is something like 7k$, and a apogee CCD can cost more than 10k$ for sure
